PLEASE READ THIS PRIOR TO COMING TO THE CLINIC
We hope our clients and your pets have stayed healthy through the pandemic. Our thoughts are with those who have been negatively impacted. All of the staff at AWPC have fortunately stayed healthy. We are looking forward to gradually reopening our services again. We want to thank all of our clients for their patience, empathy and support through these challenging times. While we are celebrating that fewer people are contracting Covid and that vaccines are effective we are not out of the woods completely; we still have to be vigilant. In an effort to return to some normalcy now we will be allowing small numbers of people into the clinic. Numbers will be limited to 2 people/groups at a time. We ask everyone to maintain social distancing while in the clinic. As your veterinarian I have always considered it my responsibility to protect clients and staff, therefore, AWPC will continue many Covid principles and practices regardless of what other clinics are doing. The Delta variant, as well as others, are still out there and are not under full control. We will evaluate needs on a daily basis but until all clinic staff are double vaccinated and the risk of variants is reduced, we will be following most of the "Provincial Health regulations for Medical Clinics" protocols. Please do not come to the clinic if you are not feeling well.
Our clinic expectations:
1) All people (over age of 12) who enter the clinic need to be wearing an appropriate mask and keep it on for the duration of the visit. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS. People refusing to wear a mask will be denied entry into the building. We will examine your pet alone after discussing your concerns outside.
2) Access is limited to 2 client people/groups inside at one time and everyone is to maintain optimal social distancing while inside.
3) Please be patient when you book an appointment as we are seriously overwhelmed with the number of new pets. We will always try to verbally or visually assess your "fur-baby" and the "sickest will be prioritized.
4) Please try and limit your pets issues to one or two concerns; if you have more, it may be necessary to set up a follow-up appointment.
We are sorry in advance for any delays, inconveniences or misunderstandings!
Our Temporary hours are
Monday to Thursday 8:30am to Noon, 1:00pm to 5:30pm
